What should we wear?
We strongly recommend that teams wear comfortable clothing & footwear. We also recommend that teams leave handbags & personal items at their office as we are unable to leave them at the start of the race.
Can we dress up?
ABSOLUTELY!
We love it (and encourage it) teams to dress up. We generally use colours to determine the different teams, we would be happy to send through the list of colours for you race prior to your start so you can tell the teams their colours to dress up in.
Where does Sydney Amazing Race operate?
Team Bonding is based in the Sydney metropolitan area & we also have teams in Melbourne (www.amazingracemelbourne.com.au) and Brisbane (www.brisbaneamazingrace.com.au)
There are 8 Amazing Races currently available; City Botanical Gardens, Hyde Park, City Rocks / Circular Quay, Cockle Bay / Darling Harbour, Parramatta, Kirribilli, Manly & Coogee Beach.
We can also customise a course for you if you contact us on 1300 468 326.
What are the Start Times?
We can start at any time after 10am and before 2.30pm (winter) and 3.30pm (summer). For safely reasons, we do need to finish the race before dusk.
Does the Amazing Race suit a small group?
Yes, we can run the Amazing Race with teams as small as 8 people.
Can you handle a large group?
We cater for all sized groups, from 8 people to 200+ people.
In order to adhere to COVID restrictions, we may seperate a large into smaller groups so that each person can still have a fun, exciting Amazing Race while keeping everyone safe.
How fit does the group have to be?
If a person can manage to walk for about an hour they will be fine with the Amazing Race. The course for the Botanic Gardens Amazing Race is relatively flat, as are Parramatta and Cockle Bay, whilst the others; Pyrmont / Darling Harbour, Manly and Kirribilli have a couple of manageable hills and stairs. The Rocks course is quite hilly & does contain a number of stairs.
We have had people of all ages and sizes enjoy the Amazing Race. For people that don’t feel they can walk the full way, we can take them from the start to a mid checkpoint and they can pick up their group for the last sections.
Can I choose the start and finish points?
We do offer customised races, however please contact us on 1300 468 326 to discuss logistics as we may already have a planned course near your location that we can help you with.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Our outdoor activities are certainly favourites with our clients and 90% of the time the outdoor option is great and teams have a brilliant time. However with both storms and heatwaves a factor, we do need options in place to deal with bad forecasts.
In most cases with light rain / showers or temperatures up to 36 degrees we go ahead with the Race as planned. We have some simple concessions for comfort, such as undercover checkpoints and short cuts if needed. From time to time teams do complete the Race wearing light jackets and really enjoy it.
We routinely do a weather check 48 hours prior to the event and if the forecast is unfavourable we will consult you. There are generally 3 options up until 36 hours before the event; a) go ahead in “stand by mode” or b) change to our indoor activity, either Laugh a Minute or Indoor Paparazzi (a venue is required) or c) postpone to an alternative date without penalty.
If you choose “stand by” mode and it is raining heavily at the start point or around the time you are leaving, we consult the radar, take a vote and generally go inside to do the indoor alternative activity (subject to a pre arranged venue being available). If the weather is really bad on the day and your team does not want to go ahead with anything, we do need to invoice our direct staff costs so our team can be paid for the day. We retain your deposit as a credit and will re run the event on an alternative date agreeable to both parties.
Bottom Line: If there is somewhere we can go, we will have an alternative indoor activity prepared and ready to go.
How do you ensure the group is safe?
Safety of participants is of paramount importance. Our staff carry compact first aid kits. We also ask the teams to stay together at all times and take care of each other.
All checkpoints are staffed and teams have a mobile number for any problems that arise. Before heading off, our staff ask for a contact number for each team. Participants are always given a choice regarding tasks and no one is forced to do anything they may be uncomfortable with.
Can you do the Sydney Amazing Race in other places?
We can create a new race in a location of your choice at an additional cost of $1,000 + gst (excludes travel time greater than 45mins from Sydney metro area). The only proviso is that the actual area is readily walkable and has some interesting places to go.
Please call us on 1300 468 326 to discuss your thoughts.
How do I book and pay?
You book via a confirmation email with your chosen event, date, numbers, venue and timing included, plus your company details for invoicing purposes.
Upon receiving this confirmation of your event we will invoice a 20% holding deposit due immediately. 9-10 out from the event you will be invoiced the balance which is due on the day after the event.

Can I customise the event to suit our team?

We need to stay within the basic structure but we can add specific messages, choose activities that work with a theme, emphasise your values plus some teams create their own quiz style activity to include.
